The series, set in the early 1970s during the singer's jumpsuit-clad comeback, will show him being inducted into a shadowy government agency combating domestic threats against the United States.

Even as he takes down those threatening the US, the Heartbreak Hotel singer still has to keep up his day job filling arenas full of adoring fans.

It's not clear yet if the series will skew more toward zany comedy or action, though it's intended for adults rather than children.
